to take the first $6000 of each nights’ nett proceeds,

■on (rota the New York Post, a leading paper, will

aad that it meditates still further and. grower ag
gressions upon Southern Rights:
* With regard to New Mexico and Utah, which
an now provided with Territorial Governments
containing no prohibition of slavery, there is no.
(king to prevent that question from being brought
«p again as often as there is the slightest chance
for it* success. There is nothin# to prevent a
proposition for the amendment of jhtro bills from
being brought forward at the nosl'lg-mlon t.f emi

from being urged upon the nrxi Coiy^Tes, when a
difierent and jnster proportion' , ,«‘ort'.iern and
BrnRhein Repreeentativcj will be nEgTOvd K» Con-
giaro under tbe new census.”
Aad farther, be nys:
•* If we cannot exclude slavery fjv.av the territo

the firmness er tbe virtue to amend ihe territorial
government by a formal recognition of the law of
freedom, bequeathed by Mexico to beroada l prov

will be the abolition of slavery in tlie District of

we have in 10 miles square is too small to justify

interest in the new territories, than in
the 10 miles square. Then the slave trade between
Ihe States will be attacked, and if abolished or pro
will be said th«t such a measure would
render the slaves in tlie planting Slates more v n J-

The North will never do but one thingat a time.
They will do nothing which of itself, would be so
attractive of nnr rights, but that some would say
was not sufficient to justify resistance.
